Is Allu Arjun involved in Jani Master sexual assault case? Here’s what Pushpa 2 producer Ravi Shankar has to say

Telugu cinema is currently under the limelight after Jani Master was found guilty of sexual assault. Renowned choreographer Jani Master of Pushpa and Stree 2 is pleaded culpable of sexually harassing a 21-year-old girl. The controversy left everyone surprised and shocked more after Allu Arjun’s name was linked. Rumours were rife that Allu Arjun was involved in the case due to his connections with the choreographer also known as Shaik Jani Basha who choreographed his hit song ‘Srivalli’ from Pushp: The Rise.

Now the film producer Ravi Shankar jumped in to break the silence on the situation and spilled truth. While promoting Mathu Vadalara 2 the producer was asked to address Allu Arjun’s link in the assault case and Jani Master's arrest for the same. He clarified that the Pushpa actor is not involved and he being wrongly framed. He keeps a foral relationship with the production team. 

Ravi Shankar said, "Hero (Allu Arjun) isn’t bothered about who’s on set other than wishing them good morning and following the steps he’s given. He has unnecessarily been dragged into it. For his stature, why will he stop someone from working or promote someone else? We are all only professionally aligned to both of them."

He further talked about Jani’s sexual assault case, “Whatever happened between the girl and Jani Master is personal to them. He was hired long back as an additional choreographer for our film and will remain throughout the filmmaking process. Jani Master was supposed to choreograph a special number for Pushpa 2 but this happened two days before we planned it.”

For the unversed, a 21-year-old woman accused him of sexual harassment. The victim claimed that she was facing harassment since she was a minor. Not just Jani Master but his wife is also accused of harassing the young girl for not complying with her husband’s demands.
